Sam Raimi has revealed that discussions are ongoing about a sequel💫 to his cult-classic movie Darkman.

The original film stars Liam Neeson as the titular character, wit🔯h Frances McDormand in a supporting role. It sees Neeson's Dr. Peyton Westlake severely disfigured, and on the hunt for revenge against the men who hurt him. The film had two straight to video sequels, but neither starred Neeson or McDormand. Its other spin-offs are a video game, comic books, novels, and an unaired TV pilot.

. "I haven't heard the story yet or gone into it, I've been so busy with this movie [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange in the Multiverse𒐪 of Madness]. But I think it's cool."

As for whether Neeson could return♎, Raimi isn't sure. "I don't know if he'd do it," he said. "But he'd be incredible." The director also explained that there were originally plans for a franchise in the '90s, but the movie's bo🎉x office put a stop to them. 

It will likely be a long time b🅺efore we hear any further detail♔s on the potential sequel, considering how early it is in development. But, it's still good news to hear it's on the table.

Raimi most recently helmed the long-awaited Doctor Strange 2, which sees Benedict Cumberbatch's sorcerer superhero on an adventure through the Marvel multiverse. Xochitl Gomez co-stars as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:America Chavez, whose powers allow her to traverse the multiverse, while Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role of Wanda Maximoff for the first time since 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WandaVision.

The director recently revealed that the film was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:originally 35 minutes longer than the finished product, which is in theaters now. "It was probably like two hours and 40 minutes, and it slowly came down, even though we did the reshoots," he commented. "We took out material even though the reshoots went in. So, it slowly got down to about two hours and five minutes is the totaജl."
